Patent CA-2170120-A1 (CA)
Title: Top access tow strap for luggage case
Inventor: WADDELL CHARLES E JR
IPC: A45C13/26
Filed: 1996-02-22
Abstract: Wheel luggage cases typically have removable or spring loaded tether systems by which the user can tow the case on their wheels. Prior art systems place the grip for these tethers low on the case, an inconvenient and bothersome position because this forces the user to stoop to grip the handle for towing. The inventive system provides a deploying mechanism for normally retaining the grip or handle at the uppermost portion of the case. When deployed, the main towing force is applied through the grip, through a tether strap to a secondary tensile member which extends from an interim position on the towing strap to an optimum fixation point on the front of the case. In this way, the better position for the handle or grip and the best position for applying the towing force can be provided.

Title: Minimizing Service Disruptions in Handling Call Request Messages Where New Message Formats Are Needed in a Telecommunication Network
Inventor: BAIRD MICHAEL HAMILTON
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 1996-02-29
Abstract: MINIMIZING SERVICE DISRUPTIONS IN HANDLING       CALL REQUEST MESSAGES WHERE NEW MESSAGE FORMATS          ARE NEEDED IN A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK    A signaling control point (SCP) node operates under the control of computer program instructions which interpret message instructions generated by a service administrator. The message instructions provide a hierarchical command structure which permits the SCP node to generate network messages having formats not previously defined as well as changing user specified data.  Such network messages are transmitted by the SCP node to identified switches in a telecommunication network in order to determine how a call request, such as an incoming "800" call, will be handled and/or routed by the telecommunication network.

IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 1995-02-23
Abstract: A system and method for processing a batch which is distributed into a plurality of independent segments. A preferred embodiment of this invention calls for implementation on a symmetrical multiprocessing platform, however, the invention is also applicable to massively parallel architectures as well as, uniprocessor environments.

Title: Platy or molded material and method of manufacturing the same
Inventor: MITSUBOSHI HIROSHI
IPC: B27N3/04
Filed: 1996-04-11
Abstract: Natural vegetable fibers, which create a stronger bond with resins than can normally be obtained using manmade fibers, are used to provide a board or other molded material characterized by its high moisture permeability and strength. This object is achieved by first collecting palm fibers, which consist of thick individual fibers with large gaps in between, and binding them together securely with resin to form a fiber mat. This is then reinforced by using curable resin to bond said fiber mat with a sheet of woven or nonwoven fabric made from natural vegetable fibers such as hemp or with a sheet made of thin strips of bamboo, all of which have a high tensile strength and a high modulus of tensile elasticity. The invention also includes a method for the manufacture of such boards or other molded materials.

Title: A system to monitor the temperature of an integrated circuit and to dissipate heat generated thereby
Inventor: BAUDRY JEAN-JEROME C
IPC: G01K3/00
Filed: 1997-03-18
Abstract: A system to monitor the temperature of an integrated circuit and to dissipate heat generated thereby includes a heat sink to overlie the integrated circuit. A temperature sensor is located on the heat sink to detect the temperature adjacent the integrated circuit. Temperature signal conditioning circuitry is responsive to the temperature sensor and generates a temperature alarm signal when the temperature at the integrated circuit reaches a threshold level. A fan overlies the heat sink and draws air across and then away from the heat sink to cool it. A pressure transducer is mounted on the fan and detects air flow through the fan. Pressure signal conditioning circuitry is responsive to the pressure transducer and generates a pressure alarm signal when the air flow through the fan falls below a threshold level. Alarms are triggered by the temperature and pressure alarm signals to warn a user.

Patent CA-2201766-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DE FILPO GIOVANNI
IPC: G02F1/1333
Filed: 1997-04-03
Abstract: A new type of composite polymer/liquid crystal material is made of a mixture of the two components,  in which the liquid crystal  is  not  encapsulated  by  the  polymer  matrix,  but  is trapped therein in an irregular and continuous manner.     The  new  material  preserves  the  mechanical  and  polymer adhesion properties,  and can be used as an active electrolyte component in large surface displays.     The  new  materials,  known  as  Polymer  Entrapped Liquid Crystals  (PELC),  are opaque materials,  highly scattering,  that can become highly transparent by application of an electrical field.     Furthermore, unlike other polymer/liquid crystal compounds, their transparency does not change with changes in the angle of view, and they are thus particularly of use in applications with large surface areas and controllable optical transparency.     A  process  is  also  described  for  manufacture  of  this material,  consisting  in  a  phase  separation  induced  by  an extremely   fast  polymerisation,   which   is   known   as   Fast Polymerisation Induced Phase Separation (FPIPS for short).

Title: Communication system reconfigurable with reduced switching node burden
Inventor: IKI NAOHIRO
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1991-03-28
Abstract: In a reconfigurable communications system, circuit status bits are stored in a first matrix of rows associated respectively with predefined network configurations and columns associated respectively with predefined circuit configurations. Destination status codes are stored in a second matrix of rows associated respectively with the circuit configurations and columns associated respectively with switching nodes of the system. Each circuit configuration comprises one or more transmission links and each circuit status bit stored in each column of the first matrix pattern indicates the presence or absence of the circuit configuration associated with that column. Each destination status code indicates the presence or absence of transmission links from each switching node to possible destination nodes. In response to a manual command, the circuit status bits stored in one of the rows of the first matrix are respectively multiplied with the destination status codes stored in each column of the second matrix, and the multiplied binary values are summed so that network configuration data is derived with respect to a desired network configuration, which is then transmitted to the switching nodes to reconfigure the system. A difference is detected between the network configuration data successively derived with respect to previous and most recent network configurations, and transmitted as network configuration signals to those switching nodes requiring reconfiguration.
